The agent walked away from us to get breakfast before helping us. We were the only ones in line and he was the only agent. After he showed us our “midsize’ car, we refused the rental and we were told it was the only one available or there was a 25/day increase. We handed the contract back to him, walked over to Sixt and had excellent customer service for a lesser price. Will not rent from Dollar/Thrift again. Still amazed about the Starbucks incident - who leaves someone standing in line while you get something to eat!!

Overall, the car was great. We waited over an hour to get our car. Our reservation was for 1130 am and we didn't get our car until after 1 pm. We were told there was a car shortage due to the storm which is understandable, but we still had to pay the full amount even though we got the car over an hour late

Thrifty handled the reservation terribly. They had me and many other travelers waiting in line for hours on Saturday and Sunday to finally announce that they would not honor the reservation because it had not been paid in full in advance. There is a complete disconnect in the travel industry regarding how to handle crisis. According to the Wall Street Journal a total of 1,900 flights got cancelled this weekend due to weather and an alleged system update. Thousands of passengers got stranded in Florida and I was one of them. This is not about how me only, it is about how the industry responds to crisis, how hard is it to assess availability of vehicles against booked reservations and communicate with customers via text, e-mail or phone. Please contact me at 301-633-0670 if you are interested in obtaining additional information.

Sixt refused the Kayak pre-paid reservation claiming it required a credit card of the driver to have paid for the rental fee, which makes no sense. They could’ve collected a credit card for a security deposit at the spot, but not reject the pre-paid fee and insurance entirely. At least I was fully reimbursed for the pre-payment, but then they forced the driver to hire their own insurance which was much more expensive

Bait and switch. Reserved a compact, get there and am told they don’t have any, but I can pay an extra $20/day for an “upgrade”. When I ask “what if I say no?” They reply that I can wait around for someone to return a compact (mind you this is at 10pm at night. Also really long lines makes no difference whether you have a reservation or walk in off the street it’s first come first serve, with commission based sales teams up selling you.

I didn't mind the car I received.

Everything could have been better starting with the staff. Payless & Avis have the same line and once I got to the counter, the person told me to wait over by some pole and the 'payless' person would help me. From that point on, it only got worse. All staff members were passing me to another person and they would do the same. No friendly faces, no Hello's, nothing!! Almost an hour later, I get to the car. It was wet like it was washed but there was bird droppings all over the car still and numerous scratches. No one was there to make note that these scratches were on car, now I am waiting for someone to charge me. I truly want to speak to someone from Payless and ask for a partial refund for my horrible treatment. I will not use this company again, I would happily pay an extra $75 just to be treated in a kind manner.

At pick up I had to wait over an hour in a long line at the airport with many people who were not socially distancing nor wearing masks. There were only 2 people working there for Budget and Avis together! The reason I rented the car was to avoid airports and planes and covid!

Have more staff and less wait time.

Had to wait over an hour in line to check in. They only had two people working and there was a very long line. When I finally spoke to a rep I was told it was going to be another hour to get my car since they did not have one in the type that I ordered. I ordered a wildcard which is basically dealers choice. After I expressed my displeasure in having to wait another hour they finally gave me a truck to rent. Unlikely to use them again. Saving a couple of bucks with them was not worth the hassle.

The Enterprise situated at Executive airport where we had made original reservations, first had promised to shuttle us from FLL to pick up the car to then tell us that they don’t do that. Also to make matters worse, then told us the car we had rented wasn’t available, thirdly left us hanging on hold for over 30 minutes and never came back on the line. So we were stranded at FLL for a very long time. Thankfully Enterprise rent a car at FLL got us the exact car we needed.

The shuttle pickup from the airport was good after waiting about 15 to 20 minutes for a shuttle . We flew into Fort Lauderdale on Friday, November 5, 2021 at 10:50 am and arrive at Economy Rental Car 11:15, we did not leave there till around 1:15 pm we waited line at least an hour before getting to the desk which took another hour. There were three reps working that day and several of the customers were a bit aggravated and complaining about the wait time. One customer even ask the manager for help, the manager stated they were short handed, because they had workers to call in and she returned to her office. So that customer called and cancelled their reservation and left and when to another rental car place. I am not sure if others did same thing also. I'm not going to even talk about the state of the vehicle, because it got us from point A to B without any problems wasn't sure if it would so I was ok.
